Merging Posts
Hi everyone! This page is very easy to read now that it's been divided into sections! But when I was rereading through this section, I noticed that there was a bit of overlap in the "Sample Issues and Generalizability" section concerning random sampling, so I combined a few of the sentences into one paragraph and added a bit more about how it constrained the external validity of the experiment since the study was lacking in representativeness of the target population. I also added a bit as to why having a control group might be important, since we cannot infer from the data that we gathered that the relationships we found between variables was caused by one another; we can only state that they were correlated. Also, I was wondering if it's all right to explain that one of the limitations was that the experimenters were essentially the participants as well, since I found that this was explained in 3 sections: the "Participant Bias" section, "Experimenter Bias" section and "Method" section. Thanks and let me know what you think!
